Drawing inspiration from WRC (World Rally Championship) tire designs, the Michelin® Pilot® Exalto® PE2™ tire was created for consumers who demand crisp and responsive handling in both wet and dry conditions. A descendent of the Michelin® Pilot® Sport PS2™, the Pilot Exalto PE2 tire features LMA (Life Maximized Adherence) tread compounding. This technology helps sustain handling and grip throughout the tire's life.

The last race won on Michelin Tires in Formula One was the 2006 Japanese Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso benefitting after the Ferrari engine of Michael Schumacher failed during the race. This gave Michelin a second consecutive Constructors Championship win with the 2005 and 2006 after Bridgestone's seven-year winning streak and brought to a total of four the number of wins for Michelin since this event's inception back in the 1958 Formula One season; Michelin's other wins were in the 1979 and 1984 seasons.
